We have stayed inside since Thursday. It has rained every day. Beloved has dashed out when it stopped for an hour to buy bread and milk. There are now 40+ dead over the country. The bridge we took to breakfast in Tazaghout on Tuesday was washed away;

Tafrout flooded and Ait Melloul high street turned into a river.

There have been some dramatic rescues

Taroudant has escaped relatively lightly. One man was killed;apparently he was living under the bridge. That main bridge to Agadir which was washed out in December 2010 and they took years to replace held up well but the raised causeway across the other half of the riverbed less so. The water flowed over it leaving banks of debris and washing away the crash barriers.
The old road to Agadir up to Amskroud is not passable but otherwise things seem fairly back to normal. Town was quite animated for a Tuesday today and I got the impression that some of the people who could not get in from the villages on Sunday for the market had come in today. Anyway we finished our Xmas shopping so I'm reasonably ahead of myself.
